400x400 ...

But man seriously.. It can be whatever... With images like a cd cover, its usually best to create the image in a real high resolution like 1000x1000 then downsize it before you print.

wrong.

its not 500 pixels or anything close to that,

it depends on the printer and on the dpi your working at.

Doing what Nos said would work best as at a high dpi it would keep good quality.

The correct size would be

4.75inch X 4.75inch at 300 dpi .

^^exactly what I heard when I got my covers printed. 4.75x4.75 with a 300dpi resolution.

and my shit came out crystal clear.

Or...better yet, dl a program that automatically sizes it for you. When printing covers from home, that is probably your best bet. But if you don't have a program or you can't find one, then like Daubs said, 4.75 in x 4.75 in at 300 DPI resolution. You can get away with 200, but 300 is better.

When sending it to a company it doesn't really matter cuz they will resize it for you.
